NEW WORK BY TILE AUTHOR OF " RATTLIN, Tiir REEFER,"-The announcement of a new work front the pen of this writer must evt:r he an event calculated to excite uacemtnon degree of interest. There are in the naval novels of this gentleman a depth of imagination, and a force and eloquence of style which the wild nature of his suijects has hitherto put under a constraint incompatible with the n i d r full and fait development,t. They demand a wider range a a richer soil of humanity than the limited one in which they have hitherto worked. Should it turn out that they have found such a field in the forthcoming production (which is entitled " Outward Bound") we a nticipate the highest results. CAPTAIN BRENTON'S LIFE OF EARL ST.. ViNcENT.—To the several valuable records of the achieve ments and characteristics of our great heroes which late years have produced, these excellent volumes are now to be added.' They will claim a permanent place in the splendid collection, as worthy to rank in design and .execution with any work of the class. Captain Brenton justly remarks upon his ende he a vour to draw a faithful p icture from life :—" My duty," says, " was to avoid every thing like concealment, extenuation, or flattery. Professing to be of no party, I may probably subject myself to the censure of many, but I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that impartial men will concur con with me." His task was n o eas y one, and we unaffectedly gratulate him and all his readers, naval or otherwise, on his successful execution of it.

Such a work must undoubtedly throw much light on the prin cipal events and characters of the most brilliant period in English history.

It appears that a man. named Reake:2, of that place. kept a favourite little dog, with which he was playing as long ago as in October last, when the anim l bit him in the upper lip. No impor tauce attached to the circumstance at the moment, although surgical assistance was hid recourse to. The deg, however, having left his home, more serious suspicions of his state were entertained, and he was ultimately shot at ailtonsborough in a pe,fectle rabid state, not, however, till after he had bitten a valuable horse, at Everscrecch, the pi operty of Mr. Brown, and which died on Monday week. The more melancholy p:Jr. tion of the affair, however, vet remains ao be told—the poor /l ien (Reakes), also last week - , exhibited symptoms of the frighttu: malady in its most deplorable form, and at the time our informant ;CPt us this account, he (Reakes) was suffer ing under the most severe r7 aroxysme._ Somerset County Gat, On Saturday mornirig, rout ei g ht o'clock, the going down tnt Vivid (steam -ship) was ;ver, on her voyage to Hull, keeping her proper course, when, in } 4 - eeing over the Thames Tunnel, she grounded on the mud-bank,vv:"'^l h been produced by the enormous quantities of clay and bags of an clay, thrown down for the purpose of forming artificial bed in the Thames throug h which the tunnel. is excavated.

STRANGER'S FRIEND SOCIETY, insti tuted in 1786, for Visiting and Relieving the Sick and Distressed Poor at their own habitations, in London and its vicinity.: The Committee of the Strangers' Friend Society beg gratefully to acknowledge the liberal support of an enlightened and generous! public during the late inclement season; and respectfully tad call their attention to the numerous and distressing cases which are still daily presented to their notice. Multitudes of the labouring classes are yet prevented from procuring their ordinary employment, and are suffering from sickness in addition to that of destitution.

The publication of TUE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day a! 15 minutes past Three o' Clock. securities. On behalf of the public, we ask why the interest on Exchequer bills is not again reduced to the level at which it stood before the difficulties of the Bank of England induced the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to tax the public, to fill its coffers ? " The Necropolis Bill," says a Morning Contemporary , which was thrown out in the House of Lords last yottr, and which proposes to inclose the beautiful walk to Hemp stead, will be brought before a Committee of the House of Commons this day." We trust that the measure will not be allowed to pass through Committee, but meet with a vigorous opposition from all Liberal 'Members. It is of no earthly benefit except to interested parties, who seem to care little about the public convenience, provided their own ends are answered. By the Bill in question, one of the most beautiful and healthy field walks in the neighbourhood of the metropolis will be forbidden ground to the people, with whom it has been hitherto a favourite place of resort in the long summer evenings, and more especially on Sundays, the only period when the toil-worn operative has an opportunity of breath ing the fresh air of •the country. We have not so many pleasant green fields lying within the distance of a short walk from our close and over-peopled Babylon, that we can afford to dispense with those in the neighbourhood of Hampstead. Brickand mortar have made sad inroads on our enjoyments in this respect, and if we are not,v now to be furth or incommoded by a cemetery, the only delightful walk we have left, northwards of the metropolis, will be effectually shut out from us. And why is this nuisance proposed to be established ? Merely in order th:,t the dead may have a respectable and picturesque place of interment provided for them ! We trust that Parliatnent will treat this absurd and ungenerous measure as it deserves to be treated, and bear in mind that it is the duty of Government to legislate, not for the dead, but the living. We shall not lose sight of this matter, and meanwhile direct the attention of our readers to a letter which appears on the subject in to-day's Sun, from the pen of Mr. JAMES, who has taken it up in a proper spirit. The Times informs the world this morning, that the Ministers, backed by the majority of the House of Com mons, are not strong enough seriously to grapple with the Church of Ireland. The greatest political nuisance that ever existed in any country, must, therefore, remain pestiferous to the people, and master of the Government. We must give up all hope, it seems, that an Ecclesiastical Establishment which is made wealthy by fleecing the poorest peasants on the face of the earth, and to whose comfort or instruction it in no wise contributes, will ever be improved. The Times also tells us that an open contest with the Church of England appals the Ministers, who are thus defied by the Ecclesiastical Establishment in both countries. We must suppose that the Bishops have recovered, ac cording to the Rev. SYDNEY SMITH, from their fright at the Dissenters, and are ready boldly to resist the nation. No attempt, we are assured by the Times, " to transfer any surplus to arise from the re-arrangement of Bishops' leases for the extinction of Church-rates" will be tolerated by the bold Bishops ; and the friends of the Church are" to badger Lord JOHN RUSSELL out of his skin," to prevent him from even obtaining a report from the Committee, which be pro poses to appoint, to enquire into Bishops' leases. The Clergy are resolved to give up nothing, and not to allow a single abuse to be touched, lest its re moval should destroy the whole estaVishment. In Ireland, in Scotland, and in England, the Church obviously assumes to be the master of the lives and fortunes of the people, and the instant the Legislature refuses to be the servant of its wishes it is set at defiance. Why men, who boast of freedom, should take great pains to check every approach to civil tyranny, and why they should supinely allow clerical tyranny to heard the assembled majesty of the nation, we profess not to understand. The tyranny of the Church has in it something which makes it in- finitely worse than any civil tyranny. It not only takes our property and prescribes our behaviour, but it assumes the control over education, and trains the infant, mind under the hopes and fears of the un known, to believe that obedience to the priesthood is one of men's first duties. How long thisenlightened na tion is to tolerate the arrogant assumption of the Bishops as shadowed forth in the article of the Times, daring the Ministry and the House of Commons to abate even the most flagrant of their usurpations we cannot foresee ; but it would surely be better to have no Church Establishment at all, than one which openly sets at defiance all the secu lar authority of the State. Of the many important . questions now before the public, none excites so general and deep an interest as the question of slavery. We doubt, indeed, whether, at any period since the abolition of slavery first began to be discussed in this country, the publie feeling has ever been stronger, or more emphatically expressed on this subject than at the pre sent moment. Nor is this to be wondered at, when we consider that the accursed system which originally roused the indignation, and prompted the exertions of the British public, is as vigorously at work as ever. The Slave-trade, it is true, as far as Great Britain is concerned, has been abolished ; but has the sum of human misery been thereby diminished ? We fear not. We are afraid it will be found that our abandonment of this nefarious traffic has had the effect of stimulating the efforts of other nations to increase their im portation of slaves, and that a greater number of human be ings are now made victims to the trade in blood, than wh - n we participated in it. For this there is one andbut one remedy. W e may make what treaties we please with foreign nations for the extinction of the trade,but until it shall be declared piracy, and punished as such, we might as well save ourselves the trouble of negotiation. It is utterly useless, and worse than useless, for it has tended to increase the barbarities practised in the transportation of the slaves. But it may, perhaps, be said, " We have no controul over the proceedings of other natians, and are responsible only for the conduct of our own subjects." Have we not paid twenty millions sterling for the emancipation of the Negroes in our colonies? and is not slavery completely extinguished throughout the British empire? We heartily wish that this were indeed so. That we have paid the twenty millions is true enough, but as far as regards the object for which this, the noblest sacrifice ever laid by a nation upon the altar of humanity, was made, we have not proceeded a single step beyond the point we had reached on the Ist of August, 1834. We know that the negroes must all be set at liberty in 1840. Beyond that period the planters and their agents cannot extend their tyranny ; hut in the mean time slavery exists in almost all its former atrocity, and unless the Government interfere more energetically than it has hitherto done between the so-called apprentice and his op pressor, will continue to exist to the last hour at which the latter can say to the former, " I am your master." That this should be the state of things in the West Indies, after all that has been done to ameliorate the state of the black population, may appear incredible to those who have not the means of knowing the real state of the case. But e very dayis accumulating evidence to the same effect. Among the proofs which have lately been laid before the public of colonial slavery there is one which pre-eminently deserves attention. It is a pamphlet entitled " Jamaica under the Apprenticeship System," by the Marquis of SLIGO. This i s a work that must open the eyes of the most bigotted supporters of the planters. No man is better qualified to instruct the public on this question. Lord SLIGO has had the best means of information, and his tes timony is above all suspicion. To-morrow we shall make some extracts from this most interesting pamphlet. The Paris journals of Friday and Saturday have all been received• In the official columns of the Citrate of Friday we find the following intelligence from Spiin " TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. , 4 Government has received the following telegraphic despatch : " Bayonne, March 9, 7 a.m. 4.. A courier extraordinary announces, that before day break on the 4th the reb..-Is, under Cabancro, entered Sara gossa, and occupied the principal paints; but that the Na tional Guards assembled and drove them out again, with the loss of 120 killed and 700 prisoners.' " The same journal contradicts a report set afloat by the Arationne/, charging the Doke of Ortut.A.Ns Wth constant interference in the attributions of the Minister . of War. The Charte observes that it is seen with pain, by certain parties, that the heir to the throne is held by the army—by the common soldiers as well as their officers—in that ge neral esteem which he has acquired by fighting in its ranks, and by showing himself on all occasions the zealous pro moter of its interests ; and if an officer, in passing through P a ris, has the misfortune to perform a duty so natural as to pres ent himself in the saloons of the Prince, an outcry - r LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1839. According to the notices in the Order Book of the House of Commons, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER iS to move to-night for the re-appoiutment of the Committee on Joint Stock Banks. We do not see, however, in the Notices, auy mention of Mr. Honda's announced intention to move that the Bank of England be included in the in quiry. We hope, nevertheless, that the Hon. Member will not forgo his intention ; for any inquiry into the conduct of the Joint Stock Banks, with a view to ascertain the effect of their issues on the currency, without including, the Bank of England, would be performing the tragedy of the Prince of Denmark, leaving out Hamlet by particular desire. The true source of all genuine paper money is in the first place credit, and all genuine credit rests on fu ture p roduction or on commodities hereafter to be brought to market. Any paper money, whether bills of a long date, or promises to pay on demand, which are not issued on genuine credit resting on future production, and to be taken out of the m arket as the commodities are taken into consumption, or as the credit comes to an end, is fictitious and spurious. Now, what ever may be the nature of the paper issued by the Joint Stock Banks, we can unhesitatingly assert, that a large proportion of the paper issued by the Bank of England is fictitious, spurious, and not required by the wants of com merce, nor by the genuine demands of credit. Four times per year does the Bank of England emit in payment of the National Debt, a very large sum of Bank-notes which represent no genuine credit, which arc not the value of commodites on the way to market, but which are created for the payment of debt, and which represent the value of commodities which have already entered into con sumption. Commerce has gradually adapted itself to this periodical emission of Spurious paper, and by forethought has rendered the emission less ruinous than in its own nature it is calculated to be. We have not in fact, quar terly fluctuations as we have almost annual fluctuations in the currency, because the health-bringing operations of private indisiduals which the Legislature in its overweening vanity mistrusts and despises, prepare for these foreknown issues of the Bank of England, and correct the enormous evils they would otherwise produce. Nevertheless it is the spurious paper periodically issued by the Bank in payment of the dividends and to make other payments connected with the Government, which paper in no shape represents commercial, agricultural or mariufa c turing credit, which is the chief cause of all the derangements which the country still suffers from the currency; and it will be a disgrace to the Legislature if it inquire into the operations of Joint Stock Banks on the currency, w i t h o ut including that greatest joint-stock bank, called the Bank of Enlland. We hope, therefore, that Mr. HOME will not depart from his intention, and will put it to the vote, w hether that one Company is for ever to assume the cha raeter of a public benefactor, while it is continually the the cause of a great public ed!. While we -are on this subject, let US ask the CHANCELLOR OF the EXCHEQUER per cen at Par t in the , and re why he does not reduce the interest on Exchequer bills? e Money , e m a a t y 6 b 3 e s h . padreimniuthme. citywfiniern2tibaenydw e 3 th oo:- CHANCELLOR was worr i e d autumn of 1836, the p out of his life by the bank people and the monied classes to raise the interest on Exchequer bills.

To this the Nationnel replies that it cannot comprehend what busine,s officers cif the army have in the saloons of the Duke of ORLEANS more than any other class of public functionaries, and persists in asserting that General BERNARD, the War Minittcr, is a mere political and official cipher, to which the proximity of the Royal Duke gives all the nominal value. The Bill for granting a pension to the widow of General DAMREMONT has finally passed the Chambers in the form in which it was amended by the Peers. The project of Law for reducing the interest on the Five per Cents. is still talked of, but it is no longer a secret that Ministers ‘vill oppose it with ali their influence. The following are extracts from the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday : We are authorized to announce to lenders of Spanish loans that his Majesty, Charles V., King of Spain, has declared upon his royal faith, that he will io uo case recognise the toms contracted by the usurping Government."—Europe. " The Debats - states that the emperor of Austria has ap pointed Count Megent, a Colonel in the Austrian infantry, to to office of commandant of Cracow, riming the remainder of the term of occupation, and that the new commandant had been presented to the Regency, and to the residents of the three protecting powers by the Austrian resident. " According to a letter of the 2d instant from Saragossa, General Santos San Miguel marched on the 20th ult. from • Caspe to Gandesa, at the head of the division of Abecia. He took with him 200 mules, for the purpose of bringing away all the valuable property at Gandesa, in case of the town being • at some future time forced to surrender. Another letter states that the siege of Gandesa was abandoned by the Carlists, as r soon as the above-mentioned movemet.t beca-ne known. Bri gadier Leon el Conde made an unsuccessful attempt to pass the Arga in front of Echauri on the 26th. Ills intention was to have burned all the villages of the valley of Echauri. The Carlists repulsed him with less.—Phaee de Bayonne. " It is stated in a Madrid le:ter of the 27th ult. that, at the financial meetings held in that capital on the question of consolidating the Spanish debt, the majority has been in favour of consolidating only one-third of the Active Debt, which is to be henceforth called the corsolh'ated debt of Spain. The other two-thirds arc to be exchanged for certifi cates of debt without interest, each certificate being to the amount of 2,500 franc=, the mode of payment of which is to be hereafter settled. The coupons or dividends of the Ac tive Debt due and unpaid are to be converted into capital, one-third of which is also to be conversed into a consolidated debt, and the remaining two-thirds into certificates without interest. One- eighth of the Deferred Debt, the Passive Debt, and the Deterred Debt of 1834, is to be consolidated, and the other seven-eights to remain in certificates without interest. The payments of the half-yearly dividends are to be resumed on the Ist of January, 1839. should these bases be determined upon, the Government will prevent a Bill to the Chambers for carrying the plan into effect, founding it upon the st tte of civil war in which the country is placed, but more particularly on the disorders and abuses committed during the administration of Nlendizabal, when, under the pretext of the vote of confidence, theta were sent into foreign markets in scriptions at the active debt, to an amount so enormous that all the strength of the Spanish treasury has been unable to bear the weight thus thrown upon it. It is in this new con solidated stock that the contracts for the loans now in agita tion aro to be made. Several Deputies wished that the re duction should not be extended to more than one-half ; but to this it was replied that it would be much better to make such a liquidation as would enable the promised payments to be made, and thus offer only what could be performed. The creditors of Spain, however unfortunate their position may be, cannot but he satisfied with the laudable anxiety of Count. d'Ofalia's Cabinet to repair, as far as possible, the evil done them under the administration of Mendiaabal."--lilentorial Bordelais.

General ORAA was at Murcia, at the head of 5,300 troops. The longer protraction of the war was dw nouneed by men of all parties ; and Ministers were making preparations for an effective summer campaign. The Carlists are equally on the alert,' the Great Northern Powers having threatened to recognise the QUEEN in the event of Don CARLOS failing for another year to enter Madrid in triumph. Brussels and German Journals have been received this morning. On the 4th inst. two steamers cleared Cux haven for London and Leith, the channel there being en tirely free from ice. An account reached the Hague on the Sth that the King of HANOVER had dissolved the meeting of the Estates of his 1;. - ngdorn, in consequence of a majority declaring in favour of the Constitution of 1833. We attach no credit to it. Letters from Athens of the 13th ult. were received in Vienna, in which it was stated that King OTIIO had at last taken the reins of Government into his own hands to the great delight of his people. If King 01110 desire the love of his subjects, he must dismiss from his Councils the swarm of Bavarian adventurers that infest the capital, and monopolize those preferments to which none but na tive Greeks should be suffered to aspire. As the Consti tution of Hanover and the Cologne affair are the all-en grossing subjects of discussion in the German Journals just now, we extract from them the only news they con tain from the capitals of Hanover and Prussia : HANOVER, MARCII 2.—The debates in the two Chambers are naturally the subject which most deeply interest the public, but we only judge from hearsay. Ncthing official has been published respecting them, unless we consider a; such the short notice in the Hanover Gazette. It is said that there were rather warm debates in the Second Chamber the day before yesterday, and even that some Deputies withdrew. GOTTINGEN, FEB. 26.—M. Hugo, formerly Deputy for our city, received on Saturday leave of absence to enable him to take his seat, though it is said that in his application he referred to the Constitution ; in the answer it was remarked that the Constitution was no longer in force, and consequently the paragraph referred to could not be taken into. account. He set out for Hanover the same day. M. Plank, Judge in the Supreme Court of Appeal at Celle, has not accepted the choice made of him as Deputy for the University ; but it is said he has received the necessary leave of absence, which he did not apply for, though it is well known that the business of the Court of Appeal is very great, and a man like Mr. Plank cannot well be spared. Respecting our University there is ample scope for conjec ture. Even the list of lectures for the next six months has nit yet been printed, in consequence of a special prohibition. People ask what new teachers may be expected, after so many who would have been an honour to the Univ(rsity hive de clined. On the other hand, an able teacher in the faculty of jurisprudence has already accepted ar invitation to Basle ; an eminent professor of divinity is arid to expect an invitation to another University, and several others to be engaged in nego ciations. HANOVER, 'Matzen 6.—The Gazette (,f the 3d, sth, and Gth contains no notice whatever of the proceedings of the two Chambers. That of the sth gives the Memorial delivered with the Constitution, and that of the 6th the Constitution itself, which was published some days earlier in the Cassel Gazette. BERLIN, M ARCH s.—There a re ver y f re q ue nt con f erences between the Ministers, which relate to the Cologne affir, which is very extensively made use of to excite political con fusion. A report is circulated to-day that a very important diplomatic step has been taken to check the hostility which so openly manifests itself, and is pertinaciously carried against the in terest cf Prussia, through the Press, in a part of Germany. This language and this tendency become daily more and more decisive, and disdains neither religious nor political fanaticism to influence the people's minds. Its objects and views are wholly of a political nature, and have nothing what ever to do with religious sentiment. Very extensive means have been organized to obtain admission and notice for such writings, especially among the lower classes, and the effects of this literary activity must be designated as revolutionary and alarming. Nay, it endangers the tranquilii - y &Germany and prefaces a profound fermentation. pave these who kindle the tire considered whether they have water enough to extinguish the flames? Wh:.t will they have? What do they aim at? One can scarcely believe one's eves, when one looks at the writings that have been published lately on the affair of Co logne, under the German Censorship, and which have been largely distributed. Whither shall this lead? Is it the com mencement of a system? Truly such a system might draw con sequences after it of w hi c h t h e aut h ors lave never dreamt, At least cert.in actors, writers, and witnesses are not to, be understood, unless we assume that it is intended to excite uni versal confusion, to shake the social relations of Germany to the foundation. Such is the expression of public opinion here, and it is lone' since it has expressed itself in so peremptory a manner. The religious and ecclesiastical part of the Cologne affair has been treated with - the most delicate consideration, with a conviction, as is to be assumed of course in the Prve,e; : - ., Government, that this affair is not to ";,ark for political objects. All well-diepcwed peM;:ns are unanimous in this. But it will not come up to this. A paraseraph on the affair of Coloine just . fiablished Ole 1419 qf the " Her- rors of Revolution," deservedly excites general attentik U.

The Continental journals are still filled with ac counts of the great earthquake, which was felt throughout the entire length of Europe, from the Black Sea to Cherbourg , on the 23d and 25th of January last. From a hasty glance at those accounts we should be led to conclude that the shock was felt in France about seven hours later than in Southern Rus sia ; and slat the vibration was communicated by the roeliy structure of the Alps. The earthquake was not, we believe, felt in any place north of the Danube, and weet of Transyl vania. We need hardly:recommeni the geologists to:endeavotir to collect the precise accounts of these widely-witnessed phe nomena while they are still fresh in the observers' memories. A frightful murder was committed sometime ago at the village of Nicolausberg, near Gottingen. A men' who had for a long time been on bad terms with his son and daugh ter-in-law, on account of their refusing to give him merle)", &c., formed the design of murdering thein both, He carried his project into effect, and made his escape ; Out his body w as afterwards found in the vault of a convent, when it was disco vered that he had shot himself. On Sunday se'enight, between the hours ° f three and four o'clock, a dreadful collision took place be tween the brig Emma, of Bideford, and the Leith steam ship, near Gravesend. It appears that the Emma W"5 coming up the River with a c ergo of iron, from Newport, i 0 South Wales, and in Long Reach, just rounding the Point, in the proper course, with a fair wind, the tide being about half flood at the time, the crew saw the lights of the steame r on the larboard bows, and steering in an opposite direction, on the way down, The steam-ship stood right across the Emma bows, and the people on board the Leith called out to th e crew of the Emma to put their helm a-port, which they di d ; 1 t the same moment, however, the steamer, by some mistake, 3 tered her course, and went right into the Emma's bows, stem °t with a terrific crash, carrying away the bowsprit, cathead, nighheads, springing the foremast, and stoving her bows. The brig was rendered a complete wreck forward, and the mate, H o ot Barrett, in endeavoui ing to launch the boat, was knoknocked ` overboard, but, with the assistance of Captain Maine, ,he master of the vessel, and the crew, was saved. A boy wag coming up the fore scuttle at the moment of the collision, ac d was severely wounded. He was subsequently removed to the Dreadnaught hospital ship , where h e h a s s i nce remaine d. The Emma was compelled to bring up 'after she was struckthe, and it was for some time feared that she would sink. as b r ig was cut down to the water's edge forward. The ship ' however, came up with the next tide, and is now discha r g ing her cargo off .the Tower, She must go i n t o dry dock to re pair.
